John Blanchard, New York
Yankee catcher - outfielder,
“will hit more home runs than
any of them,” including team-
mnte Roger Maris who hit 61
in 1961.
This is the opinion of cat-
tleman Horace M. (Hod)
Lisenbee, the right-hander who
served .up Babe Ruth’s 26th
and 58th home run* in 1927,
the year Ruth hit 60.
Lisenbee, now CO, likes to
reminisce about his “baseball
days,” but he ako likes to
dwell on current events of
“the great game.*’
.And he’ll discuss a contro-
versial topic that made head-
lines last October *— Maris,
in a 162-game season, Breaks
Ruth’s, record.
“The comparison of Ruth
and Maris is not a valid one,"
says Lisenbee. “They didn't
walk Maris in 1961 as much
as they did Ruth in 1927. Rum
drew 138 passes; Maris 94.
“Ruth had more pressure on
him. He didn't have three men
of the calibre of Blanchard,
(Elston) Howard and (Yogi)
Berra hitting behind him. Us-
ually Ruth had only one real
threat (Lou Qohrig); Maris
had three. (Seems Hod forgot
Mickey Mantle.)
“They’ve got fellows today
who hit the ball harder tlmn
Maris does. Mickey Mantle i.:
more of a slugger, but (Jim)
Gentile of Baltimore and
Blanchard are the Ivardcst
sluggers of all, from what I’ve
seen on television.’1
Gentile’s hits, with 46 home
runs in ’61, produced 141 runs
batted in. Blanchard had 21
homers and 54 RBls in only 9'’>!
games. Maris, in 161 games.;
drove in 142 runs.
At 43, Hod hurled a no-hit
ter for Syracuse against Mon- i
treat in the International
League in 1944.
The Lisenbee major league
career nurtured several not-;
able achievements. As n rookie
in 1927, he won 18 and lost 9
for the Washington Senators.
Lisenbee received some votes
for the American League’s
1927 Most Valuable Player
award, which the Yankee*’ Lou
Gehrig won. It was Hod’s only
winning year in the majors.
Later, Lisenbee saw duty
with the Boston Red Sox, Phil-
adelphia Athletics and Cincin-
nati.
Hod’s last year as a big
leaguer was 1945. He ended
his career with a 37^58 record
in the majors at age 44. Three
years later he won 6 and lost
6 for the Kitty League team
which he and his wife owned
here.

Kansas City, Wl — When a
team is bogged down the way
the Kansas City Athletics were
last year the only thing to do
is to cut away the dead wood
and try to build for the future.
The A’s did that this winter
j by trading some of their veter-
| an players. In return they pick-
i ed up some promising young-
sters.
Four rookies wtio will get a
long, long, look at the Kansas
City training camp were ob-
tained from National League
clubs- in trades that sent Bob
Shaw to Milwaukee and Joe
Pignatano to San Francisco.
They are outfielders Manuel
J i m i n e z and Joe Tartabull,
catcher Joe Azeue and second
baseman Ed Charles.
Jiminez will bring impres-
sive credentials to camp with
him. The 23-year-old native of
the Dominican Republic hit
! .325 for Vancouver of the Pa-
| cifie Coast League last year.

1 Several examples of the fin-
est talent In basketball perform
here Friday night.
They are Marques Haynes
and Sam “Boom” Wheeler,
mainstays of the Harlem Magi-
cians.
The Magicians, on tour
across the country, will battle
an array of area talent, includ-
ing coaches and former col-
lege standouts, in the high
school gymnasium.
Haynes, a 16 year veteran
of pro roundball, is considered
by many as the finest dribbler
in the sport today. The 6-0,
160 pound owner and president
of the Magicians makes a fetish
of" conditioning, which is evi-
dent in his dazzling style of
basketball
Neither Haynes nor team-
mate Wheeler are products of
Harlem. Haynes went to high
school at Sand Springs, Okla.,
a suburb of Tulsa, and Wheeler
grew up in Little Rock, Ark.
Wheeler, who stands two
inches above his boss, is a trick
shooter, ball handler and top-
flight feeder, doubling as one
of the game’s top comedians.
Wheeler was, incidentally,
good enough in baseball to
reach the AAA classification
before switching (o basketball.
He drilled 26 doubles and 17
; home runs and drove in 76 runs
in 111 games. He will be tried
at right field.
Tartabull is a speedball He
played for Victoria last season
and hit a tidy .304 with 31
doubles, ten triples, six hom-
ers and — get this — 31 stol-
; en bases.
Charles is 20 but was rated
i the most improved player in
! the Milwaukee chain in 1961.
He hit .306 for Vancouver and
led the Pacific Coast League in
hits with 181. He made the
1 Roubles in that circuit, 36, and
scored the most runs, 114. He
! also stole 29 bases. Charles be-
; gan the season at second base
and was shifted to third.
Manager Hank Bauer of the
Athletics is said to be eyeing
Charles as a utility man.
Azeue, a 21-year-old Cuban,
had a brief trial with the Cin-
cinnati Reds in I960. He bat-
ted .298 for Vancouver and is
rated a handy citizen with
mask and mitt..
Most of the new pitchers
with Kansas City are too green
to have much chance of stick-
ing. But one who may make
the varsity is Dave Wicker-

and w'as sent down again. Dave
